(ABC / Guy D’Alema)
Kevin (Probably) Saves the World just wrapped its first season, but will there be a second? Recently, executive producers Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas spoke with TVLine about the future of the ABC TV show.
The dramedy stars Jason Ritter as Kevin Finn, a self-involved and materialistic man who begins receiving instructions from a heavenly guide. The cast also includes JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Kimberly Hébert Gregory, Chloe East, J. August Richards, Dustin Ybarra, and India de Beaufort.
Even though ABC has not announced a season two renewal for Kevin (Probably) Saves the World, Butters and Fazekas says they have plans for more character development if the show returns:
Kevin is on a need-to-know basis. And the interesting thing about having Amy in the fold is: Amy is not necessarily going to take whatever Yvette’s answer is as the answer. She’s going to demand a lot more. And then even with Dave, Will Sasso’s character, they assume that Dave is dead. I don’t know that dead always means dead. That’s the great thing about a show like this, where you can make your [own] rules. … [But] I never want see where they’re from, because that will never be that interesting. I always feel like, in some ways, it’s more interesting to leave that to the viewer.”
When asked about the show’s renewal chances, Fazekas says it’s unclear at the moment but they have hope for a season two:
We’ve been with ABC for a while. ABC typically doesn’t make final decisions until right around the time of upfronts. I know they love [Jason Ritter]. I know [ABC President] Channing [Dungey] has said they love, creatively, where the show is. So that’s all we know. You have to operate under the assumption, “We’ll get a second season. Let’s set ourselves up for a good second season.” … There are so many other factors: It’s how their pilots come in, how the rest of their season goes, and what their schedule is going to look like. So there’s a million different things that go into their decision making, and because they’re all out of our control, it’s like I can’t even bother spending a lot of energy on it, because I can’t do anything about it.”
What do you think? Have you seen Kevin (Probably) Saves the World? Do you want a second season?
Absolutely !!! Love this show
This is the best show on TV! It’s funny, compelling, and a perfect one hour escape. Please renew!
We love this show. Please renew it for at least a second season. I like where the story is going and we want to see more. Jason Ritter is perfect for this role. We need more feel good stories on television. There are far too many shows that are absolutely worthless. This is a show where the main character is trying to be good to others. We definitely need more shows that show good deeds being done. Please, please, please renew it!!
Great show just getting started. Deserves second season.
I’ve seen every episode at least once and love it! I really hope it gets a second season to allow for more character development and I can only imagine the huge possibility of awesome and inspiring stories that could come from another season or two. Come on, we’ve just gotten to know these wonderful characters and can only imagine how much more the show has to offer if only given the chance.
Looking forward to KPSTW, Season 2. At a difference time slot that better fits the show’s audience!
Yes I would love them to do a second season of Kevin probably saves the world. The cast is awesome and work well off each other.
This is one of two shows I watch live, without fail. Love each character, love that there are surprises every week. It’s fresh and original; I can’t wait for each new episode to air!
Yes! Please! We love this show so much! We watch and dvr it just to watch it over again! Please bring it back for a 2nd season!
I would be SO disappointed if Kevin was not renewed! I love the show, the premise and all of the characters!
The episode with Colin Ford as a guest was excellent. It brought out the daughter better and of course he is an excellent actor. Bring him on as a regular. Sort of like what American Housewife is doing with Peyton Meyer. Two up and coming former child stars transforming into more of an adult role. However, don’t have his only role in the show be with the girl. Have him relate as kind of a sidekick for Kevin. I have to admit I don’t care as much for this show as I did since the Ford appearance. I think they… Read more »
